Stanley Caps

Team has a guy in the argument for greatest goal scorer of all time yet they can't buy a goal. And for some reason they have a magical ability to turn the opposing goalie into a brick wall.

joe said it right. the caps , winners of the presidents cup, are chokers. you can make any excuse you like, but the results are always the same. im a flyers fan. with that being said, i love me some ovie. but something happens to him come playoff time. cant nail it down, but something changes. and its not for the good

I guess I fail to see the "choking" aspect as part of their history. I can see the argument in 2008 when they lost to the Flyers in the first round 3 games to 4 and got swept by the lightening in 2011 in the second round, but the Caps have always played solid 7 game series in the playoffs. In terms of Ovies performance his playoff stats due drop from the regular season 78 pts in 82 games and scoring a goal in only 46% of games, compared to 966 pts in 839 games with a goal in 62% of games but I think the more disconcerting aspect is the absence of other play makers stepping up. You know the playoff game is going to clamp down on Ovie so they need to take better quality shots. I am sick of hearing John Walton say the Caps are getting plenty of shots but they are taking crappy shots.

baltskins let me ask you this. do you think the caps have a better team the pitts? i do

Absolutely!

Does anyone know what players from this year's team will be lost this offseason? I thought I heard Williams wouldn't be back, but not sure.

Right now, the latest I have heard is that most of the team will stay in tact.

Of course that could easily change in the off season.
